Gibby Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 I took the turbo off for cleaning and to check if rebuild was needed. There was not a gasket on downpipe, or corssover. Whats with that? Do we not use gaskets? I cant help but feel that isnt sealing perfect. Quote
Heartbeat1991 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Posted December 3, 2013 I used gaskets. I actually need to pick up another set for swapping the crossover next week. Quote
Gibby Posted December 4, 2013 Author Report Posted December 4, 2013 Where do you get them from? Autozone or somewhere like that? Quote
mfewtrail Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 Where do you get them from? Autozone or somewhere like that? Online. Search for T-25 gasket and you'll find some universal ones if you choose to use them. If it was sealed w/o the gaskets before, you don't need them. If it was in fact not sealing, then a gasket can be used OR you could have the surfaces machined flat again. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 I don't think they come with gaskets. Pretty sure the turbo that came on my car was the original, and it didn't have gaskets. I put the new one on without gaskets too and it seems to be okay. Quote
Heartbeat1991 Posted December 4, 2013 Report Posted December 4, 2013 They don't come with gaskets on them. But there are gaskets available, and they are pretty cheap. I prefer to put them in there. Can't hurt it. Quote
Gibby Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Posted December 5, 2013 sounds good, I didnt use gaskets putting it back together because I wasnt sure where to get them. And now I really dont want to go through the trouble all over again to put gaskets in Quote
